- 0:27Hey everybody, good morning. From the very noisy chicken coop
- 0:31right now. Girls are very, very busy this
- 0:34morning. So we are talking about if you
- 0:37want to produce changes in your life externally, and I'm talking
- 0:43about anything new jobs, new people around you, new new
- 0:47friends, new opportunities, new ideas.
- 0:50If you want that external world to shift, what do you believe is
- 0:54the most important factor in the external shift?
- 0:58Pretty easy question to ask, not an easy question to answer.
- 1:03The very first thing that has to shift is the internal of you.
- 1:08You have to change your patterns in order to change your external
- 1:13world. You have to change your thoughts
- 1:16in order to change your external world.
- 1:19There is an absolute correlation to the fact that in order to
- 1:24shift that piece, you must change the inside.
- 1:27So inside shifts the outside, and without changing the inside,
- 1:32the outside will continue to repeat itself.
- 1:35So the real question is why? Why is that the case?
- 1:37Well, thoughts are magnetic, emotions are magnetic, and they
- 1:40pull to you whatever you're focusing on.
- 1:43Period. There is no other way to explain
- 1:45it. That is the easiest.
- 1:46Simple. Boil the ocean down, Kim, and
- 1:49tell us the truth. Truth.
- 1:51Your thoughts and emotions are magnetic.
- 1:54They will produce whatever you focus on.
- 1:56If you focus on some disastrous thing happening, it will happen.
- 2:00If you focus on some wonderful thing happening, it will happen.
- 2:05But you have to have those emotions aligned with being
- 2:09excited and feeling great about it, to shift it and get the heck
- 2:15out of it. You know it.
- 2:17People will often say, why does it seem like all the bad stuff
- 2:20happened so easily? And the reality is, it's just
- 2:24because we're wired to think of negative more than positive.
- 2:27And you have to train yourself to think positive.
- 2:30You know, it's just like having a puppy.
- 2:31You have to train a puppy to work, to walk on a leash.
- 2:34My daughter has a puppy now and she's saying, gosh, she just
- 2:37hates the leash. Week after week.
- 2:39You have to train a puppy to be controlled on a leash.
- 2:43They don't like it. They're wild and they just want
- 2:46to be wild. They don't want to be on the
- 2:48leash. Your brain is the same thing.
- 2:49Think of it like a puppy and you got to teach it everything it
- 2:52needs to know and train it not to go crazy.
- 2:56When you put the leash on it and have the negative thoughts.
- 2:59The negative thoughts are just part of your hard wiring in
- 3:04order to keep you safe. The positive thoughts are
- 3:08something that you must condition yourself for.
- 3:11You must look for them. You must see them.
- 3:13You must cultivate them, curate them, choose them, because
- 3:17otherwise they will not be in the greater numbers.
- 3:21They will the you'll have such an imbalance.
- 3:25You'll feel the negative all the time, more than you feel the
- 3:27positive. And in order to produce the
- 3:30external life you want, it is all predicated on that internal
- 3:34world. So just like, you know, getting
- 3:37ready for the season of gardening coming up and
- 3:40everything else, I have to make sure that that underground world
- 3:44in this in the soil is at its most best state before I put
- 3:50those plants in it to grow. Otherwise it doesn't matter what
- 3:54happens. It does not matter what happens.
- 3:56That soil, boy, that is the key to everything, the underground,
- 4:00just like what we're talking about in your brain.
- 4:02So if you are unhappy with things going on in your world,
- 4:07the 1st place you need to check is don't blame outside.
- 4:11Look inside first. Start making notes to yourself,
- 4:15writing them on paper, capturing in the Notes app or your phone.
- 4:18Do it any way that works for you, but get it out of your head
- 4:22and say OK, where am I getting hung up?
- 4:25Where are the things inside of me that are bringing this stuff
- 4:28to me? Am I just obsessively worrying
- 4:31about something? Am I obsessively?
- 4:33You know, people who worry constantly that they're going to
- 4:36go bankrupt have a very, very high expectation and chance of
- 4:41going bankrupt. The odds are there because
- 4:43that's all they think about. So that's the that's the energy
- 4:47that you're attracting. When you turn that around, you
- 4:49can have a negative thought and it doesn't produce
- 4:51instantaneously. But when you stay in an extended
- 4:54state of it, that becomes your reality.
- 4:56My friends, believe me, I know I've, I've had to work through
- 5:00this so, so much myself because I am so good at getting stuck in
- 5:05a loop and obsessively worrying on things.
- 5:08I mean, it's just the nature of myself.
- 5:11I know it. And I have had to work and
- 5:14continue to have to work so hard with that, with everything that
- 5:19we've had happen out here in the last few weeks of of this, you
- 5:23know, disastrous situation with the chickens.
- 5:26I I can't tell you how much I've thought about how to fix the
- 5:32problem, but I've had to make sure that I got out of the state
- 5:37of just constant panic and worry and sitting there obsessively
- 5:41thinking about the worry, Oh my God, they're going to die.
- 5:44And and and just the panic of it all because I don't want to
- 5:47attract more of it. And that's how I stop it.
- 5:49I tell myself, do you want to attract more of this?
- 5:51No. OK, then understand.
- 5:54If you want to shift the external world, you have to
- 5:56change the thoughts of the internal world.
- 6:00And I had to shift it and I had to just say, OK, I'm focused on
- 6:03their safety. I'm focused on how happy they
- 6:05are. I'm focused on other things and
- 6:07creating that. So now I'm while I'm trying to
- 6:09fix the problem, I'm not doing it from a place it started as a
- 6:12problem, but now I'm doing it as a place of protection for them
- 6:17to make them feel better and make me feel better.
- 6:19So does that make sense? I hopefully that's clear and you
- 6:22guys get it. So OK anyway, focus on figuring
- 6:28that out for yourself. What needs to change internally
- 6:31so that externally can change? OK my friends, I hope you have a
- 6:35blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
- 6:37Bye.
